Praise for John D. MacDonald &#160; &ldquo;The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller.&rdquo;&mdash;Stephen King &#160; &ldquo;My favorite novelist of all time . . . All I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me. No price could be placed on the enormous pleasure that his books have given me. He captured the mood and the spirit of his times more accurately, more hauntingly, than any &lsquo;literature&rsquo; writer&mdash;yet managed always to tell a thunderingly good, intensely suspenseful tale.&rdquo;&mdash;Dean Koontz &#160; &ldquo;To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.&rdquo;&mdash;Kurt Vonnegut &#160; &ldquo;A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field. Talk about the best.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Higgins Clark &#160; &ldquo;The consummate pro, a master storyteller and witty observer . . . John D. MacDonald created a staggering quantity of wonderful books, each rich with characterization, suspense, and an almost intoxicating sense of place.&rdquo;&mdash;Jonathan Kellerman &#160; &ldquo;There&rsquo;s only one thing as good as reading a John D. MacDonald novel: reading it again. A writer way ahead of his time, he is the all-time master of the American mystery novel.&rdquo;&mdash;John Saul

“This book is an excellent description of single neuron and populational neural recordings. … This is a very good book for physiologists, mathematicians, neurologists, anesthetists, neurosurgeons, and students with a specialized interest of neural recordings and functioning. … This book is current and cutting edge as far as neurophysiology is concerned. Many ideas can be acquired for the experimentalists through the studying of this work.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, July, 2015)“This book gives an introduction to wavelets and then proceeds to demonstrate their use in a neural context. … should be of interest to anyone involved in analysing real neural recordings.” (Carlo Laing, zbMATH 1317.92003, 2015)
